collected by drain outlets, or deliberate dumping down the storm drain.)
These illicit discharges drain directly to the creeks and streams and may
be loaded with a large amount of harmful and toxic substances. These

threaten wildlife and human health. If an illicit discharge is suspected,
please report the offense to the Department of Public Works at 717-2284490.

XX. ADVICE IF STOPPED/QUESTIONED BY POLICE
Try to be polite and respectful. Stay calm and in control of your words.
Do not get into an argument, remember anything you say or do can be
used. Keep your hands where the officer can see them. You have a right
to ask the officer his/her name. If you feel that you have not received
proper service ask to speak to a supervisor. If you wish to file a written
complaint you must do so at the police department with a supervisor.
You may also call in a compliment for good service at anytime.

If you are stopped by the police while driving; upon request of the officer
show them your driver’s license, registration and insurance. If you are
uncertain of the reason for the traffic stop, ask the officer why you were
stopped. If you are given a citation, signing it is not an admission of
guilt, only receipt that you received your copy.
